How many times do I have to tell you?
CAPITALIZE proper nouns and names!!!!!
It's Ms. Garret!!!

Yeah, that was so stupid of Blair, that fat cow. Garret was too stupid to ever have figured it out on her own and she'd have cruised by easy.

N.A. : I'll check my PM

I'm no doctor, but -

A very close friend has passed. i'm not good with deaths, funerals etc....i come from a very large family, where unfortunately, experiencing the passing of someone happens frequently. no matter how often I go through this, it does not get any easier. Any suggestions ?

It isn't going to. Time will heal all wounds, and you'll move on. What it comes down to is that westerners tend to self pity after losing a loved one, and not celebrating the times they did have.

Not only am I going through the death of a good friend, but my little cousin in Boston (girl, 17yrs old) has been snatched in Boston. Family is in turmoil. reports have been filed with Police, friends have been called and there is no sign of her. We plan to drive up there this week to hand out flyers and so on. I never thought i would ever experience anything like this. you know you get those things in the mail about kids/people missing, but you never think it can happen to you. I look in the sky at the stars and wonder if she too is looking up or if she if hurt or whatever. How would you suggest I maintain order in my family ?

Log off of all fitness/steroid websites, call your family, and comfort them.

i'm here bro and ready to learn. whatever you want to teach me, i am all ears.


But we can start here:

Dude, that's just not fair. A low blow to my thread. I am not a psychiatrist but the obvious suggesstions would be:

vis-a-vis you friend: Buy flowers, show your support. Show up. Listen. Try to talk as little as possible (especially during the eulogy); grieving people tend to want to vent and be listened to. They know the good qualities of their loved ones and the crock it is having them go so early, etc... Like women, they just want you to listen, not offer advice and/or help. Good phrases : "I am here whenever you need me" and "I'm so sorry." Bad phrases: "Only the good die young" and anything invoking "God's will".

As for your cousin : Keep a positive attitude and keep people focused on the problem at hand when they start to stray or break down. "so and so needs us to be strong now". And hire a PI immediately; they are WAY better than the cops. You want to find a doughnut- call a cop, want to find a person, call a good PI. At the same time you must also be prepared for the worst.

Look at this, you've turned this into a "Dear Abby" thread.
